I will write a proper trip report soon but wanted to get on here ASAP that my friend left her boots in the parking lot. Please message if you happened to pick them up, they were brand new. I’m using her amazing pic for attention. Thank you, hiker friends!! I’ve always been amazed at what’s been returned to me that I lost on trail, so hoping for the same luck.

She really is! She was driving all the way to do Dip Top Gap after this hike and then found no boots in her car, poor thing.

Hey I think my wife and I may have picked up the boots in question! I saw your report right before we set out Thurs morning and we saw the boots and decided to snag them if they were still in the parking lot when we got out midday Fri, which they most definitely were. Brown, size 10, LA SPORTIVA, high-ankle boots? Let me know!

Oh excellent! Haha yeah that's the difficulty of this whole system isn't it? Well, I'm not on instragram but my wife is, her username is amiable.manatee though she's having trouble messaging you. Maybe you could try DMing her?

Thank you TheGrootskys!! I'm so grateful they were still there and you picked them up! I almost died when I got to my next trailhead (almost 3 hours away) and they weren't in my car! Had to buy a pair at the farm and feed store in cle elum for $68 to do my hike! Although i was pretty surprised how well they did, I will be so happy to have my good boots back!!! Thanks again🥰
